It has buttons to let you play emulated games more easily, a really neat trick.
The world of phone cases isn’t one that necessarily throws up genuinely impressive new ideas all that often – a lot of them have just the one main job to fulfil, after all (protection).
It’s a case that might look at first like it simply helps the back of your iPhone to have a retro flavour, looking like an old-school controller.
However, it hides a clever secret. The bottom half of the case can actually be detached whenever you like, then flipped around and slotted back onto your iPhone to cover the bottom half of its display. Those buttons are in fact real and will work perfectly with various button layouts on the now-popularDelta emulator(available on the App Store).
That means you’ll be able to play whatever retro games you have on the emulator way more easily, since physical buttons are a whole heap easier to use than on-screen ones.
The buttons will not necessarily be quite as satisfying as mechanical ones, since they look like they’re probably rubber parts designed to stretch inward and touch the screen, but only going hands-on would make us certain of that.

This might just be a much cheaper way to get more satisfying mobile gaming compared to a full-on controller grip like the Backbone One, although this half-screen layout also means that the case will basically only be useful for Delta emulation, and little else.
